CD/DVD

GRINDCORE. Modern fastcore's blackest cult ascends once more from its knighted abyss to deliver 31 hymns of infernal savagery. "deprogrammed" deliver 27min. grinding music. Vinyl comes with gatefold-jacket and includes a digital download card with 40min. of bonus material.

POST-HARDCORE. XBXRX's joyous, high-energy musical outpourings have been championed by major figures in underground rock such as SONIC YOUTH, PEACHES, UNWOUND, DEERHOOF, and Q AND NOT U. They've also worked with such producers as Steve Albini, Ian McKaye, and Don Zientara. The band continues to progress and expand their musical horizons with this release, incorporating a wider palette of textures, rhythm, and structure, as well as gaining a newfound clarity in an effort to move beyond the non-stop blastbeat/screaming assault of previous releases while retaining their exhilaration that people expect from them.

POST-PUNK. With a new line-up and some years removed from their young, violent, hardcore days, the instrumental prowess on "collision blonde" sounds less like their elder contemporaries and more a cleaner tone reminiscent of JESUS AND MARY CHAIN and THE CURE, yet sharp and uneasy in the vein of BAUHAUS' early, gothic post-punk edge. Some thracks are aggressively built up into a cathartic release, alluding to CEREMONY, ICEAGE and MEWITHOUTYOU at times. Colored vinyl includes a digital download card.

POST-HARDCORE. "our home is a deathbed" features 11 songs by XERXES. The band took shape in early 2008 in Louisville with a sound that channels the energy and passion of mid-'90s originators YOU AND I and SAETIA, while adding the more upbeat and brutal thrash mentality of contemporaries such as TRASH TALK and AMPERE, making for a sound that runs the gamut of blast-beat aggression and emotional rumination. Colored vinyl includes a digital download card.

HARDCORE/METAL. "hasta la muerte", Spanish for "to the death", is XIBALBA's new full-length. The previous full-length "madre mia por los dias" stormed the hardcore world with its apocalyptic, down-tuned, slow-motion brutality. The band's ultra-energizing buildups and relentlessly brutal breakdowns instantly drawing comparisons to DISEMEBODIED, BLOODLET, and the heaviest of the late early 2000s hardcore scene as well as kings of low-end, groove-laden death-metal like OBITUARY. "hasta la muerte" once more is a lethal collision of brutal death-metal, vicious hardcore and oppressive sludge. Taking the concept of heavy to a new, crushing level!

POWER-VIOLENCE. Y from Berlin/Potsdam plays hardcore at hypersonic speeds with stop on a dime tempo changes into some hectic and catchy slow parts that quickly explode back into high speed fury. This CD contains the "ali bomaye" LP, split 7" with DISCRIPT, the 1st 7" and 2 unreleased songs all re-mastered - 40 tracks in 40min.!

EMOCORE/SCREAMO-HARDCORE. Hailing from Santa Cruz, California YAPHET KOTTO come forth with their 1st release. Their music is perfectly suited to Ebullition. If YAPHET KOTTO would have existed a couple years ago they would have been playing with CURRENT, ICONOCLAST and POLICY OF THREE. Great screamy emotional hardcore with a duel guitar and vocal attack.

EMOCORE/POST-HARDCORE. For 7 years YAPHET KOTTO has been unleashing a torrent of melodic power fashioned from a dual guitar attack, hammering drumming, and a passionate duel vocal approach. "we bury our dead alive" is YAPHET KOTTO’s 3rd full-length album and these 10 songs are once again inspired, emotionally charged, melodic and hard hitting. Unlike many bands, time has not mellowed YAPHET KOTTO. "we bury our dead alive" is tighter, heavier, and harder than their previous releases.

POST-HARDCORE. YEAR FUTUIRE are a Los Angeles quartet with 2 prior GSL releases and "First world fever" is their debut full-length. The band is comprised of GSL founder Sonny Kay (vocals; ex-ANGEL HAIR, THE VSS), guitarist Rockey Crane (ex-DEAD AND GONE), and the newly revamped rhythm section of Pete Lyman (bass) and Chris Hathwell (drums; also a member of MOVING UNITS). Comparable to the likes of BLACK FLAG, YES, BAUHAUS, DEAD KENNEDYS and BLOOD BROTHERS, YEAR FUTURE's sound has evolved considerably since the early releases and shows no signs of standing still.

HARDCORE. You know it, you love it. YEARS FROM NOW play positive melodic hardcore with seriously heavy nods from GORILLA BISCVUITS and LIFETIME, done with a circa early `90s recording job that sounds like Walter Schreifels was at the knobs. Essentially a discography, "We're gonna need a bigger boat" piles on 19 songs: the band's "So much promise" 7", demo CD-R, 8 new songs and covers by YOUTH OF TODAY and DESCENDENTS. The new songs are definitely an improvement on the band's elder material. It seems like they trade in their occasional dose of A NEW FOUND GLORY-like pop in exchange for an even more generous early Revelation influence; there's almost like a jokey JUDGE/BOLD vibe all over the songs. "We're gonna need a bigger boat" is quite obviously a perfect introduction to YEARS FROM NOW. Now all we need is a goddamn proper full-length already.

POP-PUNK. "forever comes too soon", THE YEARS GONE BY's debut full-length, surely exceeds expectations. Super catchy, yet still edgy, the album is full of hooks and singalongs. For fans of SET YOUR GOALS, THE WONDER YEARS, NEW FOUND GLORY and even BLINK 182.

DEATHCORE. Smashing their way out of the Garden State since their uprising in 2004, YEARS SPEND COLD has proven themselves as a blunt, relentless force throughout the hardcore and metal community. Solidifying their posture through the combination of current death-metal intensity and underlining classic New Jersey hardcore attitude, their sound is uncompromised. Their Eulogy Recordings debut full-length, "moving heaven to hell", will serve as a testament to the band's ferocious sound and steadfast dexterity.

FOLK/EMO-PUNK. YESTERDAY'S RING (aka SAINTE CATHERINES) are back with 9 country-folk-punk songs. One this 3rd recording, the band leans on the country side more than ever before, making use of good ole' instruments such as mandolin and banjo. If you liked their other releases, you'll love this one. This is by far their best recording. Perfect for your late night drinking or an afternoon playing horseshoes with friends.

EMO/INDIE-ROCK. YOU IN SERIES hail from Las Vegas, NV, which is home to excess and debauchery on a grand scale. Since 2003 they have honed their skills to the backdrop of lights of the strip. "Outside we are fine" is the 1st full-length from a band that has been the talk of Las Vegas. Following the footsteps of THE KILLER and PANIC AT THE DISCO (and sounding nothing like those 2 bands), YOU IN SERIES are poised to prove that Las Vegas is the next hotbed of music.
